Chapter 270 Efficient Search
Charis''s heart skipped a beat when she heard Ethan''s serious voice.
Despite the angry expression on his face, she kept her cool and went over to take a look at his
phone. She then said with an innocent expression, "What is this? I know nothing about this.
Honestly, I didn''t hear it ring because I was engrossed in the files. I would have informed you if I
heard it ring."
Without saying anything further, Ethan checked his call log and saw that his phone had only rung
once. He then pondered, ''Perhaps Charis might be telling the truth. It seems like J only called
once. It''s possible that she didn''t hear the phone ring.''
The clock was ticking fast. Ethan didn''t have any time to think deeper about it, so he nced her
expressionlessly and walked out of the office with his phone.
The moment he turned his back, the innocent expression on Charis''s face disappeared. She
stomped her foot and bit her lower lip in anger.
Garrett nervously followed Ethan out.
"When exactly did the car ident happen? Why didn''t you tell me as soon as it happened? Don''t
you know that this is a serious matter?" As Ethan walked down the corridor, he dialed a number and
ced his phone against his ear. His voice sounded anxious. He also had a sullen expression on
his face as if he was trying so hard to suppress his anger. It was also obvious that he was seriously
worried about J.
Garrett hadn''t meant to keep him in the dark. He had only found out about the ident some
minutes earlier than Ethan got wind of it.
Laney, the bodyguard who he had hired to protect J hadn''t returned to the organization for the
whole night. No one could even get in touch with her. It was only when Garrett received that
message that he realized that something was wrong. The GPS tracker on Laney''s motorcycle
indicated that it was parked on a bridge. Coincidentally, a traffic ident urred at that same spot
a few hours ago.
There were many rescue officials and police officers on the brightly lit bridge at this time. The scene
of the ident was sealed with caution tapes. There were also five police cars and a fire service
truck. Some meters away, several reporters from television stations reported the news live and even
scrambled to get more information. Some rogue ones wanted to bypass the barricade, but they
were stopped by the frowning police officers. The entire scene was a mess.
Ethan just couldn''t stand by and wait for the police to find J. He ordered Garrett to immediately
call out all the helicopters owned by the Larson Group to conduct an immediate search.
Some minutester, a dozen helicopters went up the dark night sky. They flew over the bridge and
the sound of propellers filled the almost quiet atmosphere.
Ethan was seated in one of the helicopters. He stared at the missed call on his phone and his eyes
darkened. His heart ached severely at this moment.
Even though the government rescue team had been searching for quite some time, they weren''t
quick enough. It took the helicopters only a few minutes to locate the two people who were clinging
to each other on the sand bar.
Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
Laney hadn''t lost consciousness yet, but she was in a terrible state. She could go into aa any
moment from now. J was frozen in her arms. Her lips were purple and her face was white. She
was already unconscious.
Although Laney couldn''t move now, she kept taking short breaths in order to stay awake.
It was then she heard the sound of helicopters. When she looked up to the sky, a dazzling light fell
on them.
"Sir! Three o''clock! We just found two women at the sand bar!"
The first team who had found them made the announcement and circled the area quickly. The pilot
then controlled the helicopter and moved a safe distance away from the figures. A ropedder was
let down and some rescuers mbered down quickly.
"Finally," Laney murmured when she saw the rescuers who were running towards them. She
breathed a sigh of relief and her eyes shut.
